People actually ship hermit crabs???? I was just searching around for supplies and such and happen to run across some sites that actually ship crabs, and the sad part is I read about one of there shipping processes and it take 2-5 days for shipping..??!!.. What? I have a friend who works for DHL and she informed me of how they treat their packages (by the way don't order anything DHL in Charlotte if you want to get it safe and sound) I could only imagine what the poor lil things go through. How is that humane? Just venting again. Thanks for listening...

Some people do ship them correctly, just have to find the right place. They need to be shipped overnight. Anything longer can be harmful to them. Also certain months of the year it's not ok to ship them, being as it's too cold.

I would rather go get crabbies from somewhere rather than ship them from same place. It stresses them out
